Present ideas for work mentor

[TuTu]

A really special colleague in work is retiring at Christmas and he has been a really wonderful friend and mentor to me for several years. I want to get him something really special for a leaving/retirement present, but am really struggling to think of something extra special. Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

shameless bump!

what is your budget?

I like this game but need more info!

What does he do in his spare time?

What kind of work do you do?

Could the present be relevant to that?

Budget up to around £40-£50 as he has made such a difference to me. He is 70, an accountant (but more a consultant/mentor role), likes walking in the park/on the beach, likes good food and enjoys a drink. Hope this helps!

would you be confident enough to spend that money on a lovely bottle of wine? Or does he not like wine that much?

Other titbits....he always has a coffee brought in to him when he comes into work in the morning. He loves a laugh and is full of one liners. He is wise, warm and caring.

Rooby he likes wine for sure, but would love something "different", just dont know what !

A very nice bottle of port?

Yes could see him enjoying that definitely

Has he been with the company long? You might be able to find a bottle from the year he joined?

Great idea, could find that out, I would guess at least 15 years
